1, "IM ROVEMENT IN OlL- CHAN-DELIERS."

I Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [76,831, dated May 2,1876; application filed a March 25,1876.

To all whom may concern Be it known thatI, JAMESOALLOPY, of the city, county, and'State of New York,have invented a new and Improved OiI-(Jhaudelier, vof which the following is a specification My. invention consistsiof a contrivance to being taken on the line w ac,Fig. 2;

Similarletters of reference indicatecorre 'A is an oil-reservoir at the center of thc chandelier, receivingoil from the supply-pipe B, and distributing itfthrough' arms 0 to the burners D. E is a :float in this chamber, on

the top .of which is a'valve, F, closingupward.

When the oil has raised in the reservoir high enouglhto supply the burners properly, it lifts the float, {so that the valve shuts off the supply until more is required,-when,the float descends enough to open the valve and admit the needed amount. i

To stop the escape of the oil in case 'a'burner, D, becomes detached, I have another chamber, G, in'pipeG, in which is afloat, H, with a valve, I, closmg downward, in which chamber the 'oil is balanced by anequalcolulnn in the vertical part J of the passage to the burner, and the float is held up,so as to keep the valve open so long as the burner is all right but in case it becomes detached and the balancingcolumn J displaced, the valve will be closed by the weight of oil on it, and the flow through berfG, ot' the burner feed-pipe .O, and arranged to close the pipe when the burner is detached, substantially as specified.
